About
Blacks Pond Campground is a quiet, primitive campground located about 25 miles south of Ashland, Montana on the Ashland Ranger District of Custer Gallatin National Forest. With only two campsites, it offers a secluded experience for campers seeking solitude in the southeastern Montana landscape. The campground underwent accessibility improvements in 2022, adding a floating dock for fishing that accommodates visitors with mobility devices. The trail to the dock, vault toilet, and picnic tables are all ADA accessible. The pond provides fishing opportunities in a peaceful forest setting. This is a primitive, no-fee campground with no potable water, trash service, or firewood available. Campers should bring all water supplies and be prepared to pack out all garbage. Road access via O'Dell Road is weather dependent, so conditions should be checked before traveling, particularly during wet periods or winter months.
